They sure are worried about her...

But every road blocked off (even those blocked with city permission from a formal permit process) is the road that leads to the hospital for some group of people. Your line of argument seems a bit too universally applicable.

Which is why spontaneously barricading roads trapping people who could be in a life or death situation as far as you know is a dreadful idea yes. That's why protest marches normally traditionally require planning so that life or death situations and others can be diverted rather than trapped by someone who doesn't know and doesn't care how they're affecting others.

The illiberals here really need to read up on the Civil Rights Movement. It was far, far more disruptive than anything we're seeing in the US.

Nothing in that links says that roads were spontaneously barricaded trapping people without the police trying to clear the roads. I have little doubt that had MLK shut down a freeway then the Police would have got involved to reopen it. The Selma marches were planned and well publicised in advance.

Incidentally "overflowing the jails" rather implies that not only was such civil disobedience not given a free pass to break as many laws as they wanted but that they were sent to jail for doing so. The idea that protestor must be allowed to break any laws they want and get away with it without the police getting involved is specious.
